Andrew Halter, a former railroad worker, developed a solution to transport thousands of gallons of drinking water by rail from Mississippi to the Navajo Nation to address the water crisis affecting 30% of residents lacking reliable drinking water. Halter's company, Jacob's Well, delivers water via the BNSF Railway in partnership with the St. Bonaventure Indian Mission and School, providing a lifeline during water shortages. Despite initial skepticism, the water-by-rail operation has grown rapidly, aiming to expand to assist other Western communities facing water scarcity and natural disasters. Halter sees water-by-rail as a valuable solution and hopes to reach more individuals in need.
